hp pavilion g6-2252sa cpu upgrade

[Alexander_F-S]

Hi I have a hp pavilion g6-2252sa and I am looking to find out if I can upgrade my cpu from an i5-3210m because I have replaced the wireless card with a pcie dock and I am running a 750ti oc edition and when playing games my GPU is running very low at around 50% where as my cpu is permanently at 100% and the fan is constantly on.

Here is the Service Manual:

i7-3632QM is the best compatible processor but I am not sure it will fix your problems. When you put an eGPU dock connector into the wireless slot, you do get video output from it, but what you have to consider is that you are pushing video through a 1x pcie interface. If you put that video card into a desktop it would go into an 8x or 16x pcie slot. So you are trying to make a firehose go through a soda straw. Its naturally not going to allow the video card to run at its full strength and is going to tax the processor. Doing the upgrade would give you a Quad Core processor and twice as much cache so it would tend to improve things at least to some extent I would think. 

But your question is whether you can upgrade the CPU and you can. Post back with any more questions and please accept as solution if its the info you needed.

Hi yes I do use the ports on the egpu to reduce stress on the CPU . Thanks for the quick reply .
